College basketball schedule today has 30 games
Finals are winding down and conference play is a few weeks away, so we’re going to start getting a lot more on the college basketball card. Non-conference games can be a bit tough because so many solid teams have played bad schedules and so many bad teams have played a gauntlet, especially those that need the paycheck games to fund athletic department endeavors.

Here are some thoughts on the December 14 card (odds from DraftKings):
Drexel Dragons at Seton Hall Pirates (-13.5, 126)
There are plenty of 14s or 14.5s out there on this game and every point matters in college basketball, so shop around for the best lines. The total of this game suggests that Drexel has the chance to slow the pace of this game down, which should greatly help their chances of covering the spread. Drexel has a TO% under 16% and that was also one of the hallmarks of last season’s team under head coach Zach Spiker. The other thing that Drexel does really well is play defense without fouling, another hallmark of the team the last few seasons under Spiker.
